Yuengling beer fills up glasses for the first time across Illinois
Bunny's Tavern was the first place in Urbana to offer it to customers. Some people got to the bar at 7 a.m. to get a free pint glass and a much-anticipated taste of the beer.
9th Annual Champaign-Urbana Area Restaurant Week celebration
This came after Yuengling announced last year that they'd start distributing in Illinois.
'For the first 30 days, Yuengling will only be available in bars and restaurants,' Bunny's Tavern General Manager Ben Manns said. 'It's not going to be available in stores until, my understanding is, March 1, so until then, you have to come out to a bar or restaurant if you want some Yuengling.'
Manns said it makes sense that Bunny's Tavern is the first to serve the beer in the city. That's because they are the oldest bar in Urbana and Yuengling is the oldest brewery in the country.
Pia's Sports Bar in Champaign is also pouring up the beer. Yuengling said they'll be on shelves across the state in the coming weeks

124 employees affected by pending Ohio Eagle Distributing sale to Heidelberg
Jul. 10—Ohio Eagle Distributing has entered into a sale agreement with Heidelberg Distributing, which, if closed, will affect the employment of 124 employees in West Chester Twp., according to the company. Heidelberg, though, is "committed to retaining as many of our talented team members as possible and looks forward to welcoming them into their organization," according to a statement from Ohio Eagle. The wholesale Anheuser-Busch, Constellation, Yuengling and local craft beer supplier will close on or about Sept. 8 at 9300 Allen Road in West Chester Twp. and at its other facility in Lima. A total 178 employees of Ohio Eagle Distributing will be impacted, including 54 employees at the Lima facility. Employees at the West Chester Twp. facility are represented by Teamster Local Union 1199. Because Ohio Eagle will be permanently ceasing operations, any bumping rights provided by collective bargaining agreements are not applicable. Ohio Eagle was founded in 2015 after Col. John Saputo purchased Dickerson Distributing Company, a family-owned Monroe business that had operated since 1934. The company acquired Clermont Distributing in 2018 and added five additional counties to its Anheuser-Busch territory. In 2022, Ohio Eagle purchased AB Sales of Lima from Anheuser-Busch and added nine counties to its coverage.
